My car has a medallion on the front bumper guard and I know it is not original or belongs there but is neat none the less. It is a cast medallion, 1 3/4" inch in diameter, has the V-8 in the center, and wrapping around the perimeter says "ALL STEEL BODY . BY FORD ." There is a threaded stud on the center of the back. Does anyone have information on this?

I have one of those also I beleive the material it is cast from or struck is a stainless type.Also I do not think they were made or intended for USA production cars but were made and supplied to Australian or mayby New Zealand manufactured cars. Everyone I have seen for sale has been on Ebay and always Australian or New Zealand auction sellers. I bought one for my 37 coupe and display it proudly when car is parked with other 37 or what they call a three window fiberglass coupe.

They were on 1935-36 cars in Australia. Probably because the 33-34 cars in Australia were not all steel they had timber in doors & body.

I made a license plate topper for mine to mount on next to my V-8 Club emblem I bought when I joined in 1971. I would rather have put it on as a grill emblem on the other side of the Ford one but found the single screw mount to be to short to do this on 37 grill bars. Interesting I found the stud on emblem was 10-24 or 32 not sure I remember but found it interesting that it was not metric,but mayby Australian stuff was Amerivcan and not metric?

Don - you found it. What a sleuth! Most people wouldn't notice it in the ad. I wonder where it was mounted. I like 37 coupe's idea of mounting it as a license plate topper.
